Thanks for the info. Time to buy the Bru'n water excel program

Thanks. I have the calc to predict with salt additions but I don't have one to calculate additions to the mash if I am off from predicted. Which calc do you use to figure out your phosphoric acid addition to the mash if you need to lower your pH

I use the Palmer excel program to "create" my own water based on the style of beer I am brewing. I add salts etc to create what should be the ideal water to give me the correct salt concentrations, ratios, reside alk, and Mash pH. My question is if I miss my target on pH and need to lower it...

I got my Pico today. Already rinsed and started a Bourbon Oaked Porter. What a slick machine. After 6 years of all grain brewing I am glad to not use propane and have to clean constantly

Thanks

65 is easy here in San Diego

I mostly understand force carb and temperatures for dispensing etc but I have a question. Since I dont have much room in my beer fridge, I would like to force carb my next batch in advance while sitting in the keg at room temp. The goal is to have the carb level correct so that when I...
